4 Week Challenge

My new challenge!  I'm changing my habits 4 weeks at a time.  New components for each round are italicized (since some rules will be repeated). 

ROUND 1 - Complete

• stay under, but close to, calorie goal
• meet macronutrient goals (55, 30, 15%)
• log everything eaten

ROUND 2 - Complete

• stay under, but close to, calorie goal
• meet macronutrient goals (55, 30, 15%)
• log everything eaten
• do some form of exercise every day
• log all exercise
• eat back exercise calories

ROUND 3 - In Progress

• stay under, but close to, calorie goal
• meet macronutrient goals (45, 30, 25%)
• log everything eaten
• weight-lift then walk three times per week (every other day)
• log all exercise
• eat back exercise calories

ROUND 4*

• stay under, but close to, calorie goal
• meet macronutrient goals (45, 30, 25%)
• log everything eaten
• weight-lift three times per week (every other day)
• log all exercise
• only eat back cardio calories if heart rate is raised
• only drink protein shake to replace weight-lifting calories burned

ROUND 4 5

• stay under, but close to, calorie goal
• meet macronutrient goals (45, 30, 25%)
• log everything eaten
• weight-lift then interval training three times per week (every other day)
• log all exercise
• only eat back cardio calories if heart rate is raised
• only drink protein shake to replace weight-lifting calories burned
•  

* Added an extra round between 3 and original 4 for several reasons.  I need to refine my lifting technique, but I also need to come to a better understanding of what 'earned' calories I should actually eat back.
